Lily: 3D Crochet Flower Generator

Combine an open cup and six pointed blades

This lily is a seven-piece construction: one thirty-output cup and six seventeen-output blades. The cup's rounds have six, twelve and twelve sc. Each blade derives from a two-sided sixteen-stitch leaf but adds a counted slip stitch closing a three-chain picot at its far tip. Thirty plus six times seventeen gives 132 main crochet outputs, with foundation and picot chains accounted for separately.

Preserve both sides of the blade foundation

Start each blade from eight chains and skip the nearest lift. Work along chains seven through one using the stated sc, hdc, dc and tr height sequence. At the far chain-one end, work the first two sc, chain three, slip stitch into the first of those three newly made chains and work the final sc in the old chain-one base. Return along unused foundation-side loops toward chain seven. The picot closure enters a new chain, not the original foundation.

Attach the near tips to twelve real rim positions

The cup remains unfilled and open. For blades one through six, pin the near-tip first and seventeenth outputs respectively to cup final-rim pairs one–two, three–four, five–six, seven–eight, nine–ten and eleven–twelve. Sew and reinforce twelve pairs after comparing actual base spans. Keep the far picot tips free to curve outward. Attaching those far tips instead would reverse the blades.

Check the physical arrangement before tightening

The source drawing shows the counted pieces and receiving references, not a prediction of botanical realism. Try the pinned lily on its intended backing and compare all six blade angles. If a blade base gathers the rim, check the pair assignment and measured gauges rather than compensating with a harder pull. Secure the ends on the underside without stuffing the central cup.

Why does the blade not match the ordinary leaf count?

The ordinary leaf has sixteen outputs. This derived blade explicitly adds one picot-closing slip stitch and three additional chains.

Does the rose-petal field affect this design?

No. Six blades and their twelve rim receiving positions are fixed by this construction.

Exact setup, working key and complete sequence

Open the 3D Crochet Flower Generator and choose lily. Set the rose/frill/petal field to 6, tulip growth to three, cup even rounds to three and soft cord chains to twenty. Inactive fields do not change this construction. Download the complete original project JSON before experimenting. Use compatible yarn, a matching hook, removable markers, scissors and a tapestry needle; the closed daisy center additionally needs a little suitable filling.

The sequence below uses US terms: sc is single crochet, hdc half double, dc double and tr treble. Ch means chain and sl st slip stitch. UK mode displays dc, htr, tr and dtr respectively without changing the source geometry or counts. Keep each component quantity with its recipe. Foundation chains, decorative chains and separately labeled assembly units are distinct from the stated main-output workload. Review the stitch-chart reading guide when tracing receiving lines.

Symbol Chart and Stitch Preview show the same generated source structure in different schematic forms. The complete written route below remains necessary for rolling, shaping and finishing. Neither vector view is a photograph or evidence of a physically tested flower. Measure and inspect the real sample, secure every tail and compare its backing before final attachment. Save the full JSON with your yarn, hook, measured size and finishing notes so a later version can be reproduced.

Every worked row, round and assembly reference

1. Open lily cup (make 1), round 1: Open cylinder (make 1), round 1, base yarn #E4CA78: Magic ring: ch 1 (not counted), 6 sc. Tighten ring and mark first stitch. Continue in a spiral without joining or turning. [6 counted outputs per copy]
2. Open lily cup (make 1), round 2: Open cylinder (make 1), round 2, base yarn #E4CA78: Repeat [0 sc, 2 sc in next stitch] 6 times. Each increase makes two stitches in one old base. [12 counted outputs per copy]
3. Open lily cup (make 1), round 3: Open cylinder (make 1), round 3, base yarn #E4CA78: Sc once in each old stitch; move the first-stitch marker. Fasten off and weave the tail on the inside. Leave the final rim open; no cap or decrease round is supplied. Fasten off, weave in ends and block the completed motif without stretching. [12 counted outputs per copy]
4. Six pointed lily blades (make 6), round 1: Ch8;number chains1at the slip-knot end through8nearest the hook. Skip chain8. On the first side work sc in chain7,hdc in6,dc in5,tr in4,dc in3,hdc in2,then in chain1 work sc,sc,ch3,sl st in the first of those three new chains,and one final sc. Rotate around that tip without turning the fabric over. In the unused side loops work hdc in chain2,dc in3,tr in4,dc in5,hdc in6,then2sc in chain7. Seventeen completed stitches:the sixteen main leaf stitches plus one picot-closing slip stitch. The three picot chains are additional. Sl st to the first sc to finish;this routine join is excluded. [17 counted outputs per copy]
5. Six pointed lily blades (make 6), round 2: Fasten off, weave the foundation tail into the wrong side and leave a suitable attachment tail. Block the unfilled applique without stretching; sew through the underside and bases rather than crushing visible tops. [0 finishing reference]
6. Keep the cup unfilled. Its final round3has12sc. For blade1through6,sew the near-tip source outputs1and17 respectively to cup rim pairs1–2,3–4,5–6,7–8,9–10,11–12. Pin all six blades before reinforcing;leave the far picot tips free to curve outward. Compare the real base spans instead of forcing a tight join. [12 blade-to-cup sewing pairs]
